FunkyFresh520 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 It has this hole i dont know if its factory or if its missing a piece help! Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think a rubber plug goes there. Inspection port or something. I remember someone looking for a replacement piece a little while back. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 That hole looks pretty professional. Are you having issues with the trans? 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Is that the access port to the torque converter/flywheel bolts? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 You know where i can get one? Post an add in the classifieds. Might be easier to just make one or find a generic plug that is close enough. Quote Link to comment
FunkyFresh520 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Is that the access port to the torque converter/flywheel bolts? Im not sure im a newbie when it comes to this stuff i just wana plug it up so i can do the oil change Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Be careful when changing trans fluid. Yellow-safe GL-4 only!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 You don't need to plug it to do an oil change. If there's oil in that space you have bigger problems. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Have never seen this on a 520 transmission before. The opening to get at the pressure plate and the finned oil pan are unknown to me and interesting. I have had a 521 L16 and assumed the J13 trans was about the same. Could the engine and transmission have been swapped? (could it be an R16 from a roadster, or something?) Can you post pictures of the engine? As mentioned GL-4 gear oil 80w90 is fine. Do NOT let a counter monkey talk you into using GL-5 because it is better. It is, but what makes it better, is what makes it not so good for your brass synchros. The hole should eventually be covered... just to keep water and dirt out. . 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've never seen a finned aluminum pan either, but what I did notice was the bolt flange on the back of the trans. I thought the 520 had a slip yoke...? It could very well be a roadster motor and trans. How about an engine pic? Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 That's a manual? Man I just assumed auto when I saw the pan. Sorry, what I said is meaningless. Quote Link to comment

ROADSTER!!! So yah thats wut we are dealing with.. Quote Link to comment
DatsuNissanLove Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 And yes we got gl4 gear oil..(sta-lube) hes in good hands wen it comes to stuff like that.. Quote Link to comment
FunkyFresh520 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Got pics! Any ideas how i can cover that hole? These last ones are pics inside the hole Quote Link to comment
FunkyFresh520 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Since i have u guys here i got another problem. I ordered a j13 fuel pump which came yesterday and when i put it on i seen a little gap its leaving. I also seen other pictures of fuel pumps and i see them installed the way im holding mine but i also see them installed the other way around.. i cant put mine in the other way around because the studs are long .. are the fuel pump studs supposed to be that long? I didnt not know it was a j16 block when i bought the pump.. so im guessing this one wont work? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 J16 is not even close to a Roadster engine. The roadster used the R16 series engine. J16 may be from Central America Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Any ideas how i can cover that hole? Why are you so worried about the hole? If you can find a plug, awesome, if not, oh well. And this is coming from someone who really digs into the details. Focus on other things to get it running and come back to it later. Quote Link to comment

I just thought it was a problem but i guess not.. the car runs i just got the wrong pump so now i gotta order the j16 fuel pump and from there see what else i can do.. Quote Link to comment

J16 may be from Central America Not if the engine is a J16 it isn't. This appears to be an F4W63 same as used with the 520/521,510 and early 620, except the engine bolt pattern. A similar (upgraded?) F4W63L was used in the later 610/710/A10. I've just never seen that oil pan with the fins before. . Quote Link to comment
